What To Expect
Punta Tombo
Iniciamos el recorrido recorrido hacia el Área Natural Punta Tombo, que alberga la Colonia continental de Pingüinos de Magallanes más grande del mundo. En la reserva, caminaremos por un sendero interpretativo de 1500 metros que nos llevará a dos miradores frente al mar, desde donde podrás observar a los pingüinos en su hábitat natural. Dependiendo del mes de tu visita, podrás presenciar diferentes comportamientos de los pingüinos, como cavar sus cuevas, pelear por el territorio, cuidar sus nidos o cuidar a sus crías.
Una playa virgen que se ha convertido en un refugio para los Elefantes Marinos, la foca más grande del mundo. En Isla Escondida, tendrás la emocionante oportunidad de ver a estos majestuosos mamíferos marinos, que pueden llegar a pesar hasta 4 toneladas, desde una distancia privilegiada. Esta experiencia te brindará una visión única de la vida de estos impresionantes animales.

5.00An impeccable experience. Everything worked excellently, the perfect organization. The transfers were punctual, the vehicles comfortable and the itineraries very balanced and with enough free time in the points of greatest tourist interest. Cecilia, a fantastic guide. Agency absolutely recommended. I will choose them again on my next visit to Puerto Madryn.

5.00We visited with my wife Puerto Madryn on Feb-26. We really enjoyed all the excursions we booked with Animal Travel. The service of the guides (Hugo, Nico, René, Pelito) was excellent. They shared complete information about the places we toured and are recognized passionately in their work. I am fond of photography and had enough time at the different stops to take images, and I also value the gesture of stopping the vehicle when en route we found animals, being able to carry the memory of the fauna of the place. Also excellent the organization of the rides, from the first consultations, the notices the day before with the confirmation of the tour, and recommendations of activities for free time (Macarena, Jorge, Lara). The information on the web very complete and clear. We are more than happy and hope to return at another time of year to enjoy other walks organized by Animal Travel.
Excellent excursion and tour guide

5.00I went to tip tomb + hidden island, nice walk, a love tour guide Cecilia, explained a lot of elephant seals, penguins and the history of the place. Very good excursions, you can tell they love animals. They give time to enjoy the ride (you are not to the runs as in other excursions).

5.00One of my dreams was to see penguins in their natural habitat and this tour made it come true! At Punta Tombo, I was surrounded by penguins living freely in their environment, it was absolutely magical. But the surprises didn’t end there. We also saw seals, guanacos, maras, hares, ostriches, and even a snake! The amount of wildlife was truly incredible. Our guide, Hugo, was amazing, super knowledgeable and passionate. He taught us so much about the animals, the landscape, and the rich history of the area. His explanations added a lot of depth to the experience. If you love nature and animals, this is a must-do! Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or as a family, it’s an unforgettable adventure. I went with my husband and we both agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Madryn.
WONDERFUL

5.00100×100 recommended, the guide Hugo beyond taking us to see animals as in a zoo explained EVERYTHING precisely, and not only about the animals but about Argentina in general. It is worth seeing the animals in their habitat accompanied by such a vocational guide who enjoys their work and makes you enjoy every minute.
Amazing place with the best guides.

5.00The place is amazing! The Hugo guide from Animal Travel was very pontual, attentive all the time and very prepared to explore everything about the place, its features and the animals we saw. He was very attentive to my children and that is a plus because it makes the trip with boys so easy. We loved traveling with Animal Travel! We also visited the Valdes Peninsula and it was the same. Thank you Animal Travel!
Penguins on view!!!
